Overall the property needs allot of upgrades in its condition, the room was mediocre at best, and they don't even provide room service, or turn down service unless you request a day before. I wouldn't stay there again, but it was an experience.

Card was charged for someone else’s bar tab. The only way they could have done this is an employee at Fox/Hounds stole our card number. Do NOT stay here! Old, dirty, and scammers at the restaurant.

I get the vibe of the hotel but IMO hotel looks and feels very worn down, tired and unkept. If the hotel owner decides to have wood everywhere (including elevator doors) then they should pay more attention to fixing scratches and overall repairs. Additionally, all wooden furniture was also scratched up everywhere and the fridge in my room looked like it was shot up with a BB gun and bathroom did not have a ceiling fan. So be forewarn that if anyone staying with you goes #2 then the bathroom becomes off limits to everyone for some time.

Our room was incredibly dusty. Toilet had water stains, disrepaired furniture and over all lack of cleaning. Sheet were stained and threadbare. There was no mattress cover just a very thin sheet over the mattress. There was an odor in the room and hotel. Water pitchers in the lobby were mostly empty or had fruit macerating for a couple days.

Unique and the reddit recommendation was spot on
Very unique little spot! Clean parking I think was a little awkward But it was fine and safe (its under the hotel) breakfast was one of the best free breakfast we have had from a hotel. Shower was decent over all its what we expected. Something fun and unique! When coming in from the airport we were told the restaurant in the parking lot was excellent and we should go! We did not BUT I thought I would share a locals opinion as it would be super convenient For someone traveling that didn't want to drive somewhere to get s good meal
